UMass Dartmouth jumped out to an early 11-4 lead, and maintained their advantage throughout the entire first half of play. The Mustangs tied the score three times during the first half, but failed to take a lead on the Corsairs. After Mount Ida tied the score at 28-28, the Corsairs went on a 15-1 run to end the half, making the score 43-29 going into the break.

The Corsairs continued to amass their lead during the opening minutes of the first half and with 14:24 left to play, they found themselves up 55-29. UMass Dartmouth preserved a double-digit lead over the Mustangs the entire second half. The closest the Mustangs came was within 10 points in the final minute of play, but late free throws from Houtman preserved the 74-62 win.

"I would say the back-to-back games took a toll on us, we were challenged by Mount Ida," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Amanda Van Voorhis. "We were able to get our post players involved and that was really the difference early and obviously that was a big part of why we won," said Van Voorhis. "We're happy to be playing home on Tuesday and we look forward to hosting Worcester State."

The Corsairs improved to 1-2 with the victory, while the Mustangs dropped to 0-3 with the defeat. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they open their home schedule against Worcester State Tuesday evening.
